In this episode of Between Birds of Prey we will make a musical reflection on blindness and vision, taking inspiration from José Saramago’s book “Blindness”.

“I don’t think we did go blind, I think we are blind, blind but seeing, blind people who can see, but do not see.” – José Saramago, Blindness
